This blog will serve as a diary covering the construction of the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ football stadium in Port Elizabeth/Nelson Mandela Bay, South Africa as well as looking at progress on the other 2010 stadiums.

So here she is... The roof truss in all her splendour. This is our stadium. This is what makes our stadium unique. This is what makes our stadium the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth. If until now you thought our stadium was just another stadium, you'd better change that perception because the majestic roof trusses are changing this stadium from slabs of connected concrete, to a Port Elizabethan, South African and global landmark. Now, let's admire her.
